Nebulized liposomal amikacin for the treatment ofPseudomonas aeruginosainfection in cystic fibrosis patients

Abstract: LAI is a unique formulation of amikacin that enhances drug delivery and retention in CF airways via incorporation into neutral liposomes. Results of a recent Phase II trial suggest that LAI, with the capacity for once-daily dosing and prolonged off-drug periods, may be an attractive choice of inhaled antibiotic to manage PsA lung infections in CF patients. Further data from Phase III studies assessing the efficacy and safety of LAI should better elucidate its potential.

“…An attractive feature of the liposome is its breakdown by bacterial rhamnolipids, effectively meaning the drug becomes activated at the site of need. In both phase II and III trials similar increases in FEV 1 were seen as for tobramycin [Clancy et al 2013; Ehsan et al 2014]. Levofloxacin inhalation solution (MP-376) has recently been shown to be well tolerated and noninferior to tobramycin [Stuart Elborn et al 2015].…”

“…Compared to other inhalation devices, nebulisers can generate large volumes of ‘respirable’ aerosol, with no need to perform drying procedures, as in the case of DPIs, or involve propellants, as in case of pMDIs [ 16 , 50 , 54 ]. Nebulisers are the most commonly used inhalation devices for the delivery of liposomes [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 55 , 56 ]. There are three types of nebuliser: air jet, ultrasonic and vibrating mesh.…”

“…Amikacin has a cationic charge and is encapsulated in neutral phospholipid/cholesterol liposomes (300 nm in diameter) to prevent interaction with mucins carrying anionic charges. 15 Liposomal Bupivacaine (Exparel) for Postoperative Pain Control for Open and Laparoscopic Abdominal Hernia Repair (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02128646)…”
